School of the Ozarks

School of the Ozarks serves 278 students from kindergarten through 12th grade in Point Lookout, Missouri. This regular public school maintains a notably small student-teacher ratio of 10.9:1 with 25 full-time equivalent teachers, creating an intimate learning environment where students can receive more individualized attention. The school has earned a solid MySchoolScout rating of 7.3 out of 10 and ranks #189 out of 399 schools statewide, placing it in the 53rd percentile among Missouri schools.

This middle-tier performance suggests a school that's working steadily to serve its students well, with opportunities for continued growth and development. The small enrollment size fosters a close-knit school community where students, teachers, and families can build meaningful relationships. With fewer than 300 students spread across all grade levels, School of the Ozarks offers the advantages of a smaller educational setting, including more opportunities for student participation in activities and sports, and greater ability for staff to know each student personally.

Located at 1 Opportunity Avenue, the school sits in the town setting of Point Lookout in Taney County, providing students with a community-centered educational experience in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks region.

As a private school, School of the Ozarks operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
